Seven new Medical Colleges and Hospitals to be established in Bihar: Minister

Patna, Mar 20 (UNI) Bihar Health Minister Mangal Pandey on Thursday announced in Assembly that seven new Medical College and Hospitals would be established in the state.
Pandey while replying to a debate on the budgetary demand of the Health Department in the House for the financial year 2025-26, said that Nitish-led NDA government had decided to establish seven new Medical Colleges and Hospitals in Bihar. One Medical College and Hospital each would be opened in seven districts of the state, he added.
Pandey said that the state government was also concerned with improving medical facilities in remote villages of Bihar and several steps were taken after the NDA government led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was voted to power in the state in 2005. Primary Health Centres (PHCs) were in shambles in Bihar, having no facilities for the treatment of patients during the RJD regime, he pointed out.
